Abstract
| Using the ns-2-simulator to experiment with different aspects of
user- or session-behaviors and network configurations and focusing
on the qualitative aspects of a wavelet-based scaling analysis, we
present a systematic investigation into how and why variability
and feedback-control contribute to the intriguing scaling properties
observed in actual Internet traces (as our benchmark data, we use
measured Internet traffic from an ISP). We illustrate how variability
of both user aspects and network environments (i) causes self-similar
scaling behavior over large time scales, (ii) determines a more or
less pronounced change in scaling behavior around a specific time
scale, and (iii) sets the stage for the emergence of surprisingly
rich scaling dynamics over small time scales
